We have all experienced wiping out a year or more of positive cash flow in a single expense or numerous expenses in quick succession but realise over the long haul we will/should come out ahead if we buy right.

Or can I buy properties with a single out of state LLC?

Another thing to look at is Single family homes that are zoned as Two unit homes or row homes so you can easily transform them into dulpexes. 

Investment-wise, I purchased a single family home in Lancaster, CA back in 2010 which I unloaded last year for a decent profit.

So I’ve been focusing on single family homes.

One of the issues for a lot of my military friends that have purchased a home at every duty station is that they are not able to get someone to manage a single family very well.

I also live in southern ca and invest in memphis and consistently have been advised to look for single family rentals in b plus neighborhoods. just my two cents..

I joined a real estate investment group, went to real estate networking meetings, read real estate books, took a weekend workshop on wholesaling, wholesaled some properties, once I had enough down money I borrowed money from a private lender (my real estate lawyer) and flipped a property, then another, then I had enough to buy a single family rental, partnered with my brother, bought another...now I have 82 rental units (single family, multifamily, office and commercial).

I do not know of a single case or lawyer who can think of or found where a bank has called the due on sale clause on a performing note for transferring the property into your business.

It's an older 4/2 home rented out to 4 college students which from my research draws higher rent than a single family living their.
